Hey. IT fandom.

You better keep on being active 😤

🎈🎈🎈🎈

I hope we’ll get the supercut in october~ ❤️

I need this footage right here right now!!! 

I was just wondering..

How did you actually get into the IT fandom? For me it was pretty unexpected, as my first thoughts about the movie were “eww horror, eww clowns, I don’t really know Bill Skarsgård etc. etc.”. Then suddenly after seeing the trailer a few times on tv and around the internet, I dreamed about Pennywise. Thank god it wasn’t a nightmare. In fact it was a dream in which he protected me and thus I developed my weakness for him. Though I’m not the type of fan who will call him Daddy haha, but I really admire his character! So tell me!

I saw the movie in 2017 on my computer on a free website because at the time I was too young for r rated movies so I cheated and found it on a free website XD. I loved the first movie but it never got me into the fandom until it chapter two. And I always found it weird how could you be attracted to Pennywise but after a Ton of fanfics and Pennywise confessions,here I am 😂😂😂

Mine was an odd moment. At first I thought freakin dumbass clown horror movie I bet it’s going to be rubbish what’s so scary about a clown so my brother and sister came with me and I got interested when I saw him in the storm drain and had the hots for him when he came out of the fridge I fell in love 🥰 and have loved him since 💖💖♥️💖💖.

I loved the miniseries, though not when I first watched it (YEAH I WATCHED it when it first aired because I’m old y’all), because I was just a wee child and it scared the heck out of me. I did a re-watch as a teen and loooooved it. Tim Curry’s Pennywise was a delight. That’s when I read the book, but tbh it was a hard read for me, and while I’ve meant to re-read it and am pretty sure I’d like it better a second time around, I haven’t gotten to it.

So fast forward to when IT Chapter One is announced! I’m excited because I think a theatrical version could be really good (but could also donk big time so I was a little nervous too, but mostly excited). When they announce who was casted as Pennywise, I was skeptical!! I had never seen Bill in anything so I had no idea of his acting chops, I just saw an actor I thought was too young for the part. Then the first picture of him in the costume came out and I was REALLY skeptical (sorry Bill).

IT Chapter One opens, I go and am throughly enjoying it, completely blown away by everyone’s performances, think Bill is doing an amazing job as Pennywise. Then the fridge scene shows up. That fucking fridge scene. Y’all know all about the fridge scene, especially if you’re a clown fucker. I was shook. Shooketh in the theatre, turned on by a ding dang clown. There were two clowns in the theatre that day, Pennywise and me!

Loved the movie, but now I’m dealing with feelings awakened in myself that I’m ashamed to admit. Sure I’d been turned on by horror movie monsters and baddies before, but this was a bit ridiculous. I lurked on Tumblr a while, enjoying the art and stories in the fandom from afar, counting myself too old to be a part of it. Then I saw a few peeps that were in my age group, and said to myself what the hell and joined up.

Aw I’ve loved to read the stories from others. Thank you all for sharing! So here is my story:

My very, very first encounter with IT was as a child. My grandma owned the book and I was fascinated with it, whenever I saw the book in the shelves. The book with the big and bright red letters. But I was a kid and this was a horror book, so I didn’t touched it. Fast forward…I’m growing older, still see the book around my grandmothers place. But my mother told me I shouldn’t read it, because I was a scaredy cat (and she is right - I’m still a scaredy cat). She told me the clown is a big spider that eats little children (she didn’t knew it better). And I was and still am so f*cking, f*cking scared of spiders! So I thought…I would never ever have anything to do with IT (how wrong I was 😂). Fast forward again…the year 2017. I didn’t saw a trailer or something else…I just heard that there will be a newer IT movie. I was curious and searched Pennywise on google. I saw one picture…with his yellow glowing eyes…and I was scared as hell. This night I didn’t sleep very well, because I was so afraid to see his glowing eyes in the dark. I thought that would be a lesson to me - that IT isn’t something for me. Fast forward AGAIN…year 2019. I was up early that day and the moment I turned the TV on, they showed a short clip from the Chapter 2 trailer - the one scene in the funhouse. I saw Pennywise banging his head against the glass over and over again and heared his growl at the end and saw his big smile - full of sharp teeth. And don’t get me wrong - I was kinda horrified…but there was something else, something I didn’t expected. I was captivated and excited. And from there I went deeper and deeper, down into the rabbit hole.

I love everything about IT. I’ve read the book, I saw the new movies, I saw the old movies. I love the soundtrack, I love the story. I love the losers. And yes, I f*cking love Pennywise so much! He’s such a fascinating being. And I know the hype around IT will fade more and more…but there will be still a few people who will stay in the fandom. And as long as I live I’ll be one of them ❤️

My case was a bit weird because I used the It movie as an excuse to go on a date with my crush at that time. My initial goal for the evening was to confess my feelings to him. When I first saw Pennywise my first thought was that he was really ugly. I was like “ewww, his buckteeth are huge and he’s cross eyed and he’s drooling all over the place” but then after I saw the leper scene where Eddie turned around and the camera revealed Penywise behind those red balloons everything changed... Mind you, I first saw the movie at the cinema and so I was able to see his big, juicy, red lips on the big screen and I was instantly captivated! After that came the fridge scene and that’s when I fell in love with him. After the movie ended and the ending credits rolled my crush actually turned around and kissed me and I kept imagining that he was Pennywise! I was THAT attracted to him!
